Storm threat dwindles

We're back to summer conditions today, and that means we've added another 90+ degree reading and very high humidity (dew points in the mid-70s!) along with thunderstorm chances. Storms so far, however, have been isolated, and that should be the case through this evening. The Severe Thunderstorm Watch that had been in effect has been discontinued.

Through Tonight: Though they may not impact most places, we stick with a slight risk of showers and storms. Most activity wanes after sunset when we'll see partly to mostly cloudy skies with lows falling to the upper 60s and lower 70s.

Tomorrow (Tuesday): The front responsible for today's activity should slip far enough south tomorrow to lower humidity levels and the risk for showers or storms. I think it will probably be mainly dry, but can't rule out the risk of an isolated afternoon storm. Under partly sunny skies, highs should again rise to near 90 -- let's call it upper 80s or lower 90s.

Drove home along the western edge of the Front Royal thunderstorm. Had some sun and heavy rain along with heavy "small drop" rain. Now I am at home in the middle of the downpour with strong N or E winds. At an inch per half hour, should have a FF warning here soon. If anyone else needs rain they are welcome to take this storm, we are done.
